rising trot success wahey!

[sophie33]

I've been on horses a few times over the years but never really had more than one or two lessons. Now I've set myself the task of regular lessons until I can actually ride. I'm having private half hour lessons and although I've only just begun but I can already tell the difference
In the last but one lesson the teacher was desperately trying to get me to move forward as I rose to the trot instead of up. And this week I suddenly got it. I think my legs were in a better position but for the first time ever the rising trot felt really comfortable and it was possible to push the horse on with my legs whilst trotting. It was great!
so there you are I just want to express my pleasure !

well done - once you get it, you don't forget it, but trying to explain it till you just suddenly find the way to do it is very difficult.
